Nettlyn walked the small group of people behind her into the imperior lands of the shadow swallowers. Behind them the great forest of the Ash Igniters fell away and the long grass that was beneath them became hard, cracked mud. Ahead of them fires burned with ferocity, there was no foliage for miles and miles besides the small, dead, broken bush. A great army stood before them, all regiments organized and obvious captains and commanders of the seperate regiments handing out weapons and provisions for the campaign. In the middle of the great army before them stood an obvious figure, paths cleared around them, beside them stood a great white fox on either side.

Nettlyn turned to the group, "Well welcome to the Shadowlands, tell me, how would you say this land looks to you. I have heard many descriptions but they differ with each person yet they all speak the truth, I have always wondered what it looked like. No matter how many times I have visited here, the feeling just was not right to give me a idea of what it means."

"Are you saying that you are blind?" Cathy said, scruffly.

Nettlyn had a look of pure hilarity upon her face, "Umm... doh... Take ya' that long ta' figure it out. Oh and by the way, I really didn't like the whole looking up comment you made earlier!"
She jerked her head to the side sharply, feeling the wave of the figure's hands fly through the air frantically. Reading Ennteekoshi's language of the hand's with her mind, her feet, and her ears.

"Wanna know what that meant," She smiled crookedly.

Cathy didn't pay attention to what she just said, she looked really mad. Kayla had a worried look on her face. And then Cathy exploded:
"Well maybe you should tell us instead of trying to have US figure out things!" Cathy yelled. If it wasn't for Kayla holding her back she would have beat Nettlyn to a bloody pulp.

"I'm going to ignore that..." Nettlyn retorted, but frantically glanced back toward the army and than backed away from the group slowly.

"It meant..." Nettlyn continued, "My guards of the wolf-folk, bind and bring the imposters that approach to my presence with haste. I want you to drag them here no matter what the fight is, but leave she who dances in darkness to have you as an escort to a comforting entrance. The others can recieve the opposite."

She backed away again,
"She who dances in darkness is just gonna kinda back away now okay..."

"Ok so what do we- Oh crap, this is going to end up bad isn't it?"Cathy asked.

Nettlyn started running toward the army, passing an approaching group of large bounding beings, more wolf than human. They wolf-folk came close and grabbed Sovelis, Kayla, and Cathy, quickly binding their hands behind their backs and dragging them across the ground toward the awaiting Nitara. Her foxes beside her, impatiently stomping her right foot.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.

"AND WHAT MAY I ASK ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE!!?"She burst. "I ask you one thing, to return to Hyrule and not die in this world. YOU IDJITS ARE REALLY GETTING ME MAD!!!!! AND YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO SEE ANGRY!!!!"
Kayla, Cathy, and Sovelis floated into the air above her head and their bindings untied, with her hands she signalled the dismiss of the wolf-folk guards and her fox escorts growled. Their canines glinting.
"IN THIS WORLD MY POWER IS MUCH STRONGER AND YOURS IS INCOMPLETE! STRIPPED! HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO LET YOU STAY IN THIS WORLD IN A TIME OF WAR!"
Nitara's fox escorts growled more viciously and her face was flushed bright red with the fury she felt of their disobeying!

"PUT ME DOWN!! PUT ME DOWN!!"Cathy kept saying over and over again.
"Nitara, we really want to help, we aren't just going to stay behind and knownly know there is a battle going on,"Kayla said, drowning out Cathy's voice.

"I don't care," The group was higher in the air now, "You disobeyed my wishes when they are only to help you keep your lives! You know NONE of our battle commands, our battle plans, our regiments, NOTHING! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE HAND LANGUAGE THAT WE SPEAK DURING THE CAMPAIGNING WAR!" The foxes growled viciouly, matching her anger. She put her hands down on their heads and mumbled for them to calm down, "Lyra, Ruin, calm down, they are friends despite my anger."

Lyra and Ruin looked up, "But your anger is so," Lyra said in a melodious voice, "Filled and strong," Ruin finished. "We will support," Lyra continued, "Any decision you will press upon," Ruin, "Us," Lyra finished.

Nitara nodded and her concentration was broken, the group fell to the ground and landed hard.
"Fine," Nitara mumbled to them, "But I insist that you wear my army's strongest armor... and are in the back lines..."

"WHAT?!!"Cathy yelled, jumping to her feet."I WILL NOT STAND IN THE BACK OF THE LINE. I CAN FIGHT!!!"
Eh?What's with the screaming? I was having a good nap.
"Eh?! You can still talk to me?!"Kayla shouted out loud. Cathy stopped yelling and blinked a few times.
"Who are you talking to?" Cathy asked.

"I...um...can't wear armor, I don't have much strength unless I use Sovel. And I thought you'd be happy to have some help Nitara." Sovelis finally spoke up. "I'm more of a swordsman now than a Tempest, Nitara. If you won't let me help you, then I'll go, and I'll fight on my own. But I'll warn you, If you awaken the demon, I cannot stop the inevitable slaughter. I won't let your world become a burnt cinder, like my home is...I can still use the magic I learned in hyrule, i think, plus I have these." Sovelis held up his sword, and his right hand. "The False Shards of Power, Crafted by Armegedeon, master of the Servants. Remeber? Kasei let me have 3, and this forth one got stuck in my sword, Let me be your frontman. I can learn your hand language quickly if I must. You forget that things can be put directly into my mind. Thats something a Tempest has always been able to do, Powers or no powers. Our mind is our key weapon." Sovelis looked at Nitara. "I will help you, Nitara, if you like it or not. Fen tor no makal. Shen cadit ok lamar 'To protect when it mus be done. To defend and serve.' That is what we Tempest do, Nitara. You know what I am, and you know what must be done. I will not sit and watch others die while I have life in me. Even if this body dies, It cannot stop me, When I died, I made a deal with the keepers of the gate, the gate that we Tempest must cross when our time is up. 'Until the Tempests are returned to their former glory, you cannot pass this gate' That is what they told me. That means I'll only keep comeing back until my task is done. Nitara, I can only finish my task if their is peace in all worlds, and until then, let me fight." Sovelis neeled in front of Nitara. " I swear to you, as the Last Tempest, I will assist you until you no longer need me, I will wield my sword and what powers I have to return peace to your world, no matetr what the cost to me.'' Sovelis looked down at the ground as he offered the Tempest Blade to Nitara. He was offering all to help his friend...

Lyra and Ruin pushed the Tempest Blade away with their paws as they recognized Nitara's thoughts.
"You are loyal," Lyra said, "You will fight well in this battle," Ruin added returning to his seat beside Nitara. Lyra stayed near Sovelis, "Our master has the intentions of now letting you join, under alliance, but of the others she is still unsure. Kayla of the first generations of chosen may get closer up but might not fight beside you, unless I can change her mind. I feel the need for the others to fight also." Lyra took her place on the other side of Nitara.

"Very well Sovelis," Nitara mumbled, "You may fight, but I still insist you wear our armor. If not only part of it, and do not worry, it is not like others. It is lighter than the robes you wear now, but stronger than any demension's metals."

She turned to Lyra and Ruin, as the two foxes entered her mind for discussion, after a few moments Nitara turned back to the three. "And Kayla and Cathy can fight in the front as well, Kayla, we may be able to return some of your power. The spirit Lenore has blessed you with recognition to this world so she will surely aid you in this fight. Everlasting moon or not."
She turned and walked off beckoning for them to follow, "The Tempest will have your armor, soft as silk it is. You'll like it, it actually is quite comfortable. Kayla and Cathy.... umm... I think Kayla can do with a Singer with a strong moon-stone, a few daggers, a small battle ax, a bow and arrows. And Cathy I'd say.... a spear with triple blades, ice darts and flame darts, and maybe a few fire arrows, no scratch that last part it might not work out all that well."

"Sister, Ev, EV! Fyn died, that's almost all of us..." The dank dungeon reeked of death as a woman with bound hands stumbled to the other side,

"Yes I know..." Came the reply,
"Ev, you know the war starts today. The guards are all riled up, I heard they're doing something with the gift..."

Silence echoed through the stone and darkness as the moment passed, and than finally.
"Yah Ivy, I heard that too..."

OOC: oooooo the "gift" oh I'm slightly cruel to my characters.....

by the way, this is just info for you, it isnt actually happening in front of the characters

Sovelis was uterly suprised at Nitara. He half-expected her to slap him. He flolowed quietly, keeping his head down and not looking around at the army. "Nitara...Thank you." he said quietly.

"Great,"Kayla muttered.

"Nitara, I'm gonna need to know what your plan is, and, um...got any food, I'm starving." Sovelis said, acting like his old self a little bit.
